I drive it, I am a woman, therefore my Z is a woman's car. My Xterra was a woman's truck. My MGB is also a woman's car. What is a "pat?"

Edited to add: It was originally named the Fairlady and still is in Japan. I know that gender is a social construct and would agree that anyone can drive any car they please, but I actually feel pretty when driving mine and I don't feel that attractive otherwise. I will admit that I'm a bit of a tomboy, so maybe it isn't that femme, but it makes me feel feminine. It's like wearing a skirt instead of pants. I'm ok if men do that, but don't call it a utility kilt and act like it's macho. It's ok to be in touch with your feminine side but it doesn't do you much good if you try to bury it and repress those feelings.
